This wonderful historic home in Gloversville was just what I was hoping for. The space is beautiful-- tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Not to mention the gardens! I was traveling alone and feeling a bit apprehensive, but my hosts, Bill and Wally instantly put me at ease. They are caring, interesting and genuine in their desire that you have a great experience in their home, as well as exploring the surrounding area. I feel like I made two new friends. Thank you, Bill and Wally, for a very memorable vacation.

Patricia2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

Wally was gracious host. We arrived two hours later (10:30pm) than we originally planned. Wally gave a great tour of the premises, offered us wine and snacks (we were too tired to take him up on it this time!), and even took it in stride when I crashed through a sliding screen door that I did not see coming in from outside. House and garden were fabulous (they have the first working AGA cooker I'd seen), and includes a small historic house that a previous owner had moved to the property. Our apartment was a half-flight down, which must make it cooler in summer and snug in winter. All mod cons, but with lots of historic integrity. Well-stocked fridge and freezer. We inhaled the chocolates left in a bowl for us.

Timothy2016-10-08T00:00:00Z

William and Wally were so very helpful and flexible when we had to make some last minute changes to our original plan. We can't wait to stay at their lovely place again, and Pinky gives it a "paws up."

Leslie2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

It was great

JoAnn 2017-08-03T00:00:00Z

Gorgeous space! Hosts have fantastic taste and were very helpful during our brief stay. Would love to stay again if I'm every back in the area!

Lauren2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

Bill and Wally were great! They were very accommodating when I requested to come a day earlier. They wanted to be sure I had everything I wanted and made me feel at home. The rooms I had were very comfortable and as a female traveling alone it was comforting to know there were other people in the house. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment spotless. Thanks you gentlemen for you very gracious hospitality!

Lisa2016-10-13T00:00:00Z

Our weekend away upstate was better than we could have imagined! Bill and Wally graciously welcomed us to the cozy town of Gloversville and having such thoughtful hosts was the highlight of our trip. If you're looking for a weekend escape from the city just minutes away from lakes, mountains, and beaches, this is the perfect place. We enjoyed our own place next to their beautiful colonial home which was equipped with amenities and personal touches that made our stay special. The house was a quick drive away from the Great Sacandaga Lake and we spent the weekend lake hopping around (with the choice of 44 lakes to choose from!). Gloversville is also close to Saratoga Springs (~30 minute drive) for a romantic dinner and movie in town. The house is situated in a beautiful quiet neighborhood, perfect for morning jogs, picnics, and star gazing at night. We had the best time upstate and have already told all our friends to stay with Bill and Wally! Thank you both so much - you've treated us like family and we hope to see you both again soon!

This 3d floor flat is bright & airy with 3 bedrooms, bath with shower, full kitchen & laundry room - less than a 5 minute walk to our downtown with theater and a great food co-op. A 20 minute drive to Adirondack wilderness lakes & winter skiing.

The third floor was originally living space for household staff in this classic Queen Ann. It has very interesting roof lines reflected in the rooms, but is also very bright and spacious. Three bedrooms. One has a queen and the other two have twin beds, so it comfortably accommodates 4 guests. But we also have 2 air mattresses which allows it to sleep a total of 6.

It is a walkable neighborhood very close to downtown in our small city. Yet it is only a 15 to 20 minute drive to the pristine wilderness of the southern Adirondacks with its numerous lakes and mountain trails. Skiing, hiking and the best canoeing and kayaking in the country are available.

Vince was an extremely gracious host. The apartment was very clean and spacious. We appreciated having the full kitchen and Vince was even kind enough to leave groceries to get us started. The local co-op was great, too, and within walking distance. Great jumping off location for day trips into the Adirondacks.

Susan2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

Vincent was a great host. He was very welcoming and the space was warm and comfortable. The space itself was very clean and felt like home. The place was very welll equipped and the location was great.

chasun2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

A wonderful character-filled house with stunning views. Great amenties and well supplied kitchen (lovely food). Vince was delightful!

Jason2017-07-06T00:00:00Z

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this gorgeously restored Queen Anne Victorian. Vincent was a charming host and provided a wonderful background on the town and this home. We look forward to coming back here again.

Alan2015-09-14T00:00:00Z

Vince was a wonderful host. The kitchen and fridge were well stocked with fresh fruit, heavy cream, cheese, yogurt, OJ, eggs, bread, granola, oatmeal, half a dozen varieties of whole bean coffee (w grinder), olive oil and more. I had the whole third floor to myself; very spacious, comfortable and relaxing accommodations. Will definitely book again!

Doug2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

A truly great place and a superb host. Vince's house in Gloversville is wonderful; a tribute to his hard work, passion and commitment to both the building and the area. It's an intriguing mix of a restored 1892 house, complemented with environmentalism and localism. We loved the big space and all the thoughtful touches, particularly the generous provisions. Vince was kind enough to take us up to a nearby private lake where we could swim and use his canoe. We wouldn't hesitate to return and recommend Vince unreservedly.

Tim2016-08-31T00:00:00Z

We spent one night on the top floor of Vince's beautiful home on our way to Niagara Falls. The space was enormous and there was plenty of room for us (Two adults, four children). Vince was so sweet and provided us with everything we needed for a delicious breakfast. Our first airbnb experience was wonderful thanks to Vince's hospitality.

Located on a leafy residential street in the historic Kingsborough district of Gloversville, NY, my 1830's house is minutes away from several lakes with year-round activities, including the Great Sacadanga, and Caroga Lake, and less than an hour to Saratoga and Albany - a great place to stay during the Saratoga Racing season - save your money for the track!

I've rented my other homes, in Caroga Lake and the San Francisco Bay area, for a dozen years as vacation rentals to guests who've been consistently delighted with their unique charms and thoughtful touches. My California home has been featured in several interior design publications.

I had a wonderful stay at Dale's place. The place was clean, fully stocked with everything you need to feel right at home and decorated with some beautiful artwork. As for Dale... what an amazing host!! Never had any problems communicating.

Shawn2017-07-13T00:00:00Z

We had a great experience staying at Dale’s place. Not only was her description of her rental very accurate (and exactly what we were hoping for), Dale was great to work with in organizing the logistics and answering any questions we had. I would definitely rent from Dale again.

Matthew2013-08-26T00:00:00Z

Dale was very accommodating and helpful. Her house is quirky. Everything is a little crooked, but it's otherwise full of charming details. Gloversville wasn't what we expected (the downtown is as lively as we'd hoped), but the people in the neighborhood were extraordinarily kind and friendly. Despite a few issues, we very much enjoyed the stay.

Jacob2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at Dale's house! The house was clean, well-equiped and cosy. The location is also very nice: closed to Sacandaga lake and lapland lake ski center ( great for cross country skiing and snowshoes). Dale was very helpful with all the communication before we arrived. We definitely reccommend this place! Thank you Dale !

Maëva2014-02-18T00:00:00Z

The house was thoughtfully stocked with towels, fans, etc. The host was easy to communicate with. We enjoyed the deck and porch for sitting and catching up with friends/family we had not seen in a while.

Denine2017-07-26T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Dale's charming house was great. The house was clean and full of beautiful artworks and wonderful books. Dale gave us some great advice about things to do in the neighbourhood. We really enjoued our time there and I would certainly recommend it.

We had an unique family holiday with our 5 children. Time for relaxing and enjoying every second of the day. We were swimming each and every day for a couple of times. Every child found immediately his favorite place and was busy for hours. The house and all its facilities offer every comfort to feel more than happy. The lovely interior made our stay simply beautiful. Every evening we would have a barbacue with different salads and veggies as cooking was fun in this well assorted kitchen . The few neighbours are warm and welcoming people. Talkative and friendly. Romy is an awesome host taking care of her guest and giving interesting advises. We hope to come back one day. THANXXX Aimee and Romy

Ronald 2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

This stay was just as expected! It is a beautiful location on a lake with the best view of the sunset. It's also close to a town with enough stores for you to get what you need. There are definitely neighbors on the lake so it's not super secluded but everyone was friendly and quiet. It rained for part of our trip so bringing additional books, games, dvds is recommended just in case. The sunny days are just lovely though as are the chairs on the dock/patio.

Kelsey2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

Extremelly detailled instruction oN airbnb and in the cottage. Very nice nature area

Pascal2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

We just returned from wonderful weekend stay at Hiawatha. The house was clean and well decorated with antique furnishings. The fireplace was the highlight of our stay where we spent most of our evening (it was lower 30s at night during out stay). The lake view from porch was mesmerizing, the blue and calm water of mountain lake dotted with fall colors had very relaxing effect on us. We could not do any of lake activities due to cold weather, but we decided to return again in next summer. Aimee provided great support throughout our stay and was very quick to respond to many of our questions.

Nitin2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

We loved Hiawatha House! It had vintage charm, very clean, well furnished, and the location was excellent. Had great views of the sunset, amazing star gazing, great opportunity to boat, kayak, swim, and hike. Aimee provided all the necessary details to prepare for the trip and would strongly recommend this property to anyone. A great value filled with peacefulness and relaxation! Sue S.

Susan2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

This was a beautiful stay. Everything from the location, the cottage, all the added charm and that ROW BOAT! We had such an amazing time we cannot wait for another stay! It was much more spacious than we thought so perhaps next time we will bring more friends to enjoy this wonderful air bob :)

Nadine2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

This is a very nice place to stay - the pictures don't do the house justice. My wife and sister-in-law spent our entire stay gushing about the decor. The lake is incredibly quiet and the perfect size for casual kayaking. Tons of furniture indoors and out for dining, lounging, etc. We all caught fish within about two minutes of dropping worms. :)

You awake to hear only the sound of the wind whispering through the pines overhead. Gazing out at the lake you plan your day trip while sipping a hot cup of coffee...
Welcome to Turtle Island Camp on Mayfield Lake; perfectly situated for families, fisherman, yogis, skiers, water sport enthusiasts, or hikers.

This calm lake is idyllically located within an hours drive of several different outdoor experiences. The space itself was recently renovated to reflect the owners vision of a trendy, but retro, Adirondack-style camp. Two beds and a futon offer plenty of room for you to relax.

The Camp is located on a private road. All but two of the eight properties are used part-time, so the road is usually quiet outside of the major summer holidays.

We had a wonderful time staying here! Pete was a great host and quick to answer any questions we had.

Anna-Marika2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

Pete was great and super willing to work with us. My wife, children and I loved the stay we had there. It's very peaceful.

Maigen2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

Pete (and Pete) were extremely accommodating. They were available if we needed them and extremely helpful. The cottage is quaint and comfortably fit six of us with no issues. We brought a boat to launch on the Great Sacandaga Lake and used the available canoe for Mayfield lake. The cottage is close enough to stores to shop if necessary but secluded enough to feel like you are camping. Very peaceful and relaxing. Thanks Pete!

Kate was an excellent communicator and was very accommodating. Our flight was delayed and we were set to come in very late and she coordinated with my mom to meet up earlier in the day. The house has an amazing view, toys for the kiddos in a beautiful sunroom, and many ways to enjoy the breathtaking views - by kayak, canoe, or just relaxing at the fire pit or on the deck. Thank you, Kate!

Tim2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

This was our second year in a row at Camp Acorn. We came back because we love it so much! The house was as clean as ever and even had some updates done like better water pressure and updated bathroom. The dock was gone this year bc of storms however the water was still the perfect place for our kids to swim and play for hours. The scenic porch was enjoyed even more this year as we had a rainy day or two. The house was spacious enough and spread out enough that we could all hang out inside with plenty of room and still keep it quiet upstairs for naps! All in all we had a wonderful weekend catching up with friends and hope to be back again next year :)

Katie2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Kate and her husband were kind, welcoming, and happy to see the sprawling home be used for relaxation. I am so happy that we stayed for a low-key "bachelorette" weekend, it totally allowed me to have some calm before the storm. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and it's close to small neighboring towns. It was easy to get groceries and drinks via car. The pictures don't do the place justice! Every one of us staying were totally in awe when we first arrived. We got to do some canoeing and attempted the rope swing across the way, which was fantastic. You certainly have to plan if you want to do some real swimming past the lily pads, but the waterfront directly in front of the camp is perfect for wading with kids or just relaxing while sitting in the adirondack chairs. Watch out for the local waterfowl! They are great to watch!

Patricia2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

We loved staying at Camp Acorn! The house was beautiful, clean and cozy. We took advantage of all the outdoor amenities including the canoe, kayak, rope swing across the way, bonfire pit, outlet by the water. The shallow water and dock were PERFECT for our little ones... They played for hours! Inside was just as great. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, the beds were comfy and the view from the lake room with all the windows was the perfect place to spend the morning. Kate was very accommodating to our group; she even had baby gates to set up. The house feels secluded and private. It was a perfect, relaxing weekend and we hope to come back every year!

Katie2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

Quintessential retreat to an upstate NY home on the lake. Peaceful, great View from the lake room, outdoor camp pit by the lake, canoe and kayak, BBQ on a large sun filled deck, jumping fish, geese, frogs. Everything we could have asked for. Kate and Peter are great attentive hosts. Putting up the German flag for our arrival (German girlfriend and her parents) was a thoughtful touch. Would recommend this to anyone and hope to be back again in the future.

Jose2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our weekend at Camp Acorn. The house was very clean, the amenities were more than sufficient, and the surroundings were beautiful. Kate communicated with us around getting checked in and settled and then again at departure time. Otherwise, we were able to spread out and enjoy our stay. Thanks again. We will be back!

Benjamin2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Camp Acorn was everything we wanted for our get a way before the summer ended. Great house in a beautiful setting. Lakefront property made it special for swimming , kayaking, campfires and gorgeous sunsets. Kate and Pete are warm and caring hosts who always responded promptly to all our questions. The location is easy to access restaurants and Saratoga Springs. We will be back!

Amy2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

You’ll love my place because of the location, the ambiance, the outdoors space, and the people. We are 1/2 hour from Saratoga's historic sites, Raceway, harness track and Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
Our camp is on a double private lot, surrounded by large pine trees. We include the use of our two kayaks/canoe at waterfront deck. Lanzi's Lakeside Tavern/Restaurant is 1/4 mile down street; next to lake access. Our camp is good for couples, adventurers, business travelers and families.

Quiet and private location. No houses behind us, just woods.
House has 3 private bedroom, open kitchen/living area, plus a large family room with a gas fireplace. Sheets and towels are provided. (Kitchen must be left clean when vacating. ) Use of our canoe and two kayaks is also included with the rental.

Very laid back, quiet area. Huge, 30 mile long lake. Great place for water sports and snow sports. Fishing tournaments, ice fishing and snowmobiling are very popular here. Beautiful Fall foliage. Saratoga concerts, racetrack, harness track and history are only 1/2 hour away.

Mary was responsive to questions and responded quickly. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Lake access is down the road about a quarter mile and lake isn't visible from the cabin. Overall we enjoyed our time there with my son and his wife.

Price includes gas, use of all equipment and instruction for beginners. Looking for a place with more capacity, one may also book the Airbnb home across the street which is directly on the water that holds 12 people. It is under "Beautiful Lakeside Retreat on the Great Sacandaga". Inquire about this home or the boating option.

Great place and great hosts! Will be back.

This is an amazingly comfortable, bright country home with excellent amenities and beautiful grounds. There are so many windows and sitting areas that you feel like you're in nature. The hosts were so considerate and thoughtful, everything was ready for our arrival. We only stayed a weekend but it was a refreshing stay!

Brad2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic stay. Carol and Ed were wonderful and informative hosts. Their home is beautiful and spacious with a gorgeous view of the lake. We spent a couple days out on the lake in our boat fishing and enjoying the scenery (boat launches are conveniently located just down the road). The only downside was having to leave. We definitely plan to return! A+++++++

Kathy2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

Carol and her husband wore amazing hosts the place was beautiful we enjoyed the lake and overall the stay was amazing i and my family truly recommend carols home

Krzysiek2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

This is an amazing place to stay that exceed our expectations. The house is amazing, clean and the living room is HUGE. The lake is very clean and clear and there is an island you can Kayak over to. The property is also flawless and beautiful. We spent most of out time outside enjoying the scenery. We will come back!

Ryan2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Carol and Ed were wonderful and very informative hosts. Their home is absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful view of the lake. We fully enjoyed and took advantage of the huge fully-stocked kitchen, the ginormous outdoor fire-pit, the relaxing sun-room and the awesome sauna. We had a great stay and look forward to coming back!

Marsida2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

A perfect experience! Exceeded all expectations. I was complimented over and over for finding this gem of a rental.

This place exceeded our expectations. Much better than the pictures. Very organized, beautiful and super clean. A lot of activities in the house so as long as you have enough food and drinks you won't have to set foot outside. Ahne is a great hostess and goes above and beyond to make sure you are having a great time; a very down to earth and genuine person, one of those hard to find nowadays. Everything inside and outside of the house is in pristine conditions, decorated in such a way that makes you feel right at home. The house is right on the lake with great access and close to a little island that adds another reason to get on the water and discover that little piece of land. We had a perfect time and hopefully we'll be back soon.

yuridia2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

An amazing home and an even better hostess! The scenery, home, and amenities are second to none. Hope to be back next year. Thanks for helping make this such a memorable trip, Ahne.

David2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

This house is magnificent! The water is your backyard and you it is beautiful. The house has new appliances and is very well kept. Also, the main features that really kept my guests occupied were the kayaks that are available, the hot tub, and the fire pit at night. Highly recommended!!! Even great for 3 year old son. He had an absolute blast.

nick2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Ahne has an amazing host and was a great host. If there was anything we might have needed, we knew she'd be there to get it for us quickly. The house is even better in person with an amazing view of Great Sacandaga Lake. The house has everything you could want (Sonos system, billiards table, hot tub, and fire pit), with so much space to sleep our group of 8, including the "tiny house". Don't forget to get up and watch the sun rise from the dock. We ventured out on the lake in the personal leisure crafts and enjoyed tying them together and just floating around for a while. Just be ready for the trip back, especially if the waves carry you. We're already talking about planning our next reunion after this past weekend and it is safe to say, we are probably coming back. Thanks Ahne!

Seth2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! We stayed in Ahne's home for a family reunion and we have ZERO complaints. The location is right by the water with amazing views of Lake Sacandaga and the Adirondacks. The stay includes a ton of water activities including a jetski, kayak, paddle-boat, canoe, and row boat. Ahne will even take you out to go tubing/water-skiing on her boat (for a fee). The home has soo much to do...relax in the jacuzzi, roast marshmallow on the fire pit, play badminton on the lawn, chill out on her private dock-side bench which happens to also be a great spot for fishing! For the adventurous, I'd recommend taking the kayak or paddle boat out to the little island in the middle of the lake, you'll find a sandy beach! There was so much to do, we never left the premises the entire weekend. If you're looking for a lake house get-away, this place has it all. Comfy and clean home with a genuine host who is willing to go above and beyond to make sure your stay is nothing but spectacular. She even offered us her wine when we ran out! Will be returning here again soon.

Vik2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

You will LOVE this place! So much to do for a large party or a more intimate occasion. My family and I have rented several homes and this was the only one that was exactly as described. It was clean, nicely decorated, room for all, with many fun options. Sit on the pretty deck and look out on the lake, enjoy the hot tub, play cards or pool, have a fire and listen to the sounds of nature, or take your adventures to the large lake. The host, Ahne, is very attentive to her guests too.

I had a very restful time at Megan's, and she was very responsive and professional. Her place is one side of a duplex that is off the beaten path but not so remote that you feel isolated. The view of the pond is lovely and the place feels open and is light because of the glass doors. The bed is super comfortable, the bathroom is very clean and inviting, and the kitchen area is plenty functional. It is evident that Megan has put a lot of work into the place and is continuing to attend to details.

Everything, was as described within the posting. A+ Place and Stay.

brendan2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

I would recommend staying at Kelly's lake home on the Sacandaga to anyone. My family and I enjoyed every minute! The home was clean, in a great location, and the views of the lake from the deck are beautiful! My children (4 and 2) loved the private beach area. Even though it was a shared beach we only saw one other person down the way the entire stay so it was very peaceful and quiet. Kelly provides many extras such as towels, linens and washer/dryer. With two young children, this was a great bonus for us. We were able to pack in a lot of day trips to surrounding beaches and attractions! Kelly was very responsive with questions and I always got a text/email almost immediately! Great owner and great property!

Jennifer2016-06-26T00:00:00Z

We stayed 2 nights and had a great time. There are a couple of restaurants near by and a Marina where we rented a Pontoon boat for the day. The lake is big and beautiful. The yard is nice and big with a fire pit which we used. We were lucky enough to see the Meteor shower that was going on. There were 6 of us and the house was very roomy. Plenty of fans for the rooms which we used. There was an air conditioner but did not need it. Everything we needed was there for our use.

It's an older home with lots of history. The property is secluded on 3 acres, but easily accessible.
The Master suite is spacious and sleeps 2, but a cot can be added in the sitting room for a 3rd person or child. The bathroom is beautiful!

The neighborhood is family oriented, quiet. The village is within walking distance and has all necessary provisions, gift shops, cafe's,etc. There is a nice walking/jogging path nearby.

This is a wonderful B&B tucked away out of the main streets of Broadalbin...I was visiting family in both Amsterdam and Cobleskill and this location was perfect for visiting both places. Your host, Christine, is delightful and very accommodating...her beautiful home is full of wonderful antiques and the Master Suite is spacious and comfortable. This is a delightful place to stay...

Sandra2017-07-18T00:00:00Z

Christine was an excellent and attentive hostess. We called ahead and she was present to greet us upon arrival. She was pleasant and showed us in. Her home is large and has a beautiful driveway entrance lined with tall pines and lush lawns. The house dates back to the early 1900's and has a lovely fireplaced foyer, large comfortable living room with several sitting areas with books, large screen TV and DVD collection. Her formal dining room has all the amenities necessary to provide a healthy and delicious breakfast including blueberry muffins, fresh fruit, cereals, juice, coffee and yogurt. Our room was very spacious with high ceilings, a comfortable queen bed and a large updated master bathroom with plenty of extra towels and all sorts of extra toiletries. It also had an adjacent sitting room with reading chairs and vanity table and chair. For hot summer days, the room has air conditioning and a standing fan. There is also a large swimming pool available to guests with gazebo, chairs and beach towels. Christine makes an effort to make sure her guests have everything they need. We were in the area for a wedding nearby but found our 3 day stay restful and enjoyable!

Vincent2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

Christine is a lovely hostess and her home is of a by gone era. We enjoyed the sun porch, with southern exposure for painting, reading and writing. The pool was sooo relaxing.

Cathy2016-08-18T00:00:00Z

Christine was a wonderful hostess. Her house was gorgeous and exceptional. The pictures do not do justice to the beauty of her house. She was a good source of information of local attractions.

Erik2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Chris was a wonderful hostess! The house is a beautiful, old "grand" house with tons of charm. Chris met us upon arrival, showed us around the main floor, described the breakfast plan for the next day, and offered us a nice cold bottle of water and basket of complimentary snacks. The room and attached bath were lovely and very well maintained. She had provided a rotating fan (it was beautiful outside) and open windows or air conditioning. Overall, this was a terrific find and we would definitely come again.

Kim2015-08-18T00:00:00Z

We had stayed there for a couple of nights and everything was amazing. Our host provided everything we could you need including extra toiletries Maps. She also had a vast knowledge on the surrounding area and its activities. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Spend the day at the Saratoga race track or winery (about 45min away, ask for car service details) or stick around the cabin and ski, or snowmobile, or explore the lakes and hiking trails in the area then relax by a fire at the cabin.

There is a master bedroom with a queen size bed, bunk room with three custom size bunks that are more for kids then adults and there is space in the living room for an air mattress (not provided).

Check out the sites and activities we highlighted on our area map in the cabin and pictured on the listing.
You must visit the Canada lake store. It is the quintessential Adirondack "camp store" in the heart of hiking boating fishing and golfing.
Please also check out the Royal mountain ski area website for event scheduling. If you are visiting during motor Ross season note that Wednesday nights and certain weekends can get a bit loud with all the activity at the mountain. Some enjoy that and others may not. (URL HIDDEN)

Caroga Lake is a great little town, and the location of this listing worked very well for us. It was near enough to Johnstown to be able to get groceries and other supplies easily, but also relatively isolated. The cabin is furnished adequately and comfortably. The electric combo lock on the door is a GREAT idea. We enjoyed our stay.

Jen2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

Like the house and enjoy the stay. The view outside is beautiful and the house is right next to a ski trail. Definitely recommend this place.

Super find in Caroga Lake 2 doors down from Royal mountain. Pet and family-friendly in a charming lodge with a spacious, open living space. Kept very clean, and we all loved the easy access to hike Royal.

Shauna2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

The experience we had here was so effortless and relaxing. Craig was an absolute delight with a very welcoming and easy going manner. We had a wonderful time here that made the most of the jukebox and popcorn maker and pond just up the road. This is a great spot for outdoor activities for all seasons. It is also a great place for market and antique store shopping. the towns nearby are very basic but will have basic needs covered.

McKenna2017-07-11T00:00:00Z

Camp Garoga offers high quality accommodations year round for guests. Located in the foothills of the southern Adirondacks and bordering 400+ acres, Garoga(Bear or Moose Cabin) offers so much more of an experience than a hotel could ever offer!

Two cabins are available at Camp Garoga. So if our calendar shows no vacancy please inquire. If you are interested in the cabin with the jacuzzi, please let me know when inquiring. I do have other cabins as well, with jacuzzis.
Think of Camp Garoga as a log cabin condo. Meticulous and affordable(priced just higher than hotels in town yet offering SO MUCH MORE!). We take great pride in owning one of the 3rd nicest cabin accommodations around. **FYI, we also hold the #1 and #2 positions :) The cabins are connected back to back to each other with Moose Cabin facing west and Bear Cabin facing east. In regards to amenities both cabins are completely separate from each other with their own driveways, private screen porch, fire-pit and gas grill. The likelihood of seeing the other guests is slim(unless you're both hiking the private 400 wooded acres with trails that start at your doorstep). Moose Cabin now offers a BRAND NEW 4 person jacuzzi! Please inquire about availability. There is an additional $35 jacuzzi fee for a 2-3 night stay and an $50 additional fee for 4-7 night stay. This fee is not secured through Airbnb and is due on arrival. We think that it's a wonderful addition to the cabin and are excited to have finally installed it.
**NEW** Because of a high demand of guests looking for snowshoe rentals we have purchased some high-end SNOWSHOES that are now available for rental. Please inquire about availability($10/weekend per set. $20/wk per set). A liability/replacement waiver will need to be signed on arrival to cover lost or damaged snowshoes.
Some guests have mentioned the quality of the water and have expressed concern(including 2 older guests who left a gas burner on for 2 DAYS STRAIGHT without a flame and blamed the odor on the tap water. I can't believe they made it out alive, yet never mentioned it until I informed them that housekeeping nearly "dropped dead" when she walked in to clean 2 hours after they left. Please know your carcinogens, people :/ ) Well water isn't like city water and does have a different taste, but the water is VERY safe to drink(as most people in the area use it) and is excellent for your skin and hair. If you prefer not to use the tap water for drinking, we do supply an unlimited supply of fresh drinking water(which is delicious)
Pets are not allowed in any of our cabins.
Character, warmth, and charm are the cornerstones behind the very idea of Camp Garoga. We wanted to create an inviting, cozy, and AFFORDABLE space for guests who wish to explore ALL of what the Adirondack's can provide. Whether you're looking to enjoy a long romantic weekend or a week long vacation for the your adventurous family, Camp Garoga offer so much more than a hotel ever could and it won't disappoint.
Upon pulling in the driveway you will notice the care and attention to detail starting with the traditional rustic adirondack style twig work rails on the screened in porch. Reminiscent of the historic "great camps" from the onset of Adirondack lodging. The comfortable screened in porch offers privacy as well as a sitting area for reading and relaxing out doors and a picnic table for any meal of the day or playing one of the many board games provided. Most cabins in the area overlook the importance of the adirondack screen porch, offering you solace from the springtime bugs and nighttime insects that would otherwise be attracted to your evening reading light. We have added 2 porch ceiling fans for your added comfort.
Once you enter through the double French doors, nothing will disappoint! From the light balsam fragrance and immaculate accommodations, to the handmade soap and the natural pine woodwork we have created a cabin masterpiece. And it HAS to be clean! Our cleaning staff is spot on with keeping the cabins looking brand new each and everytime. Our guests continuously feel that they're the first ever guests and feel instantly at home.
The bedrooms and living room space are ULTRA inviting with their unique cabin decor, clean linens, and quaint reading spaces. With the fireplace being the heart of the cabin.
Garoga borders over 400 wooded acres for your immediate outdoor needs right from your doorstep. Particularly enjoyable would be a morning walk along the trails with a cup of coffee or tea. Let the kids loose to enjoy the woodland or large grassy backyard with fire pit(some wood provided). The occasional bench along the trails offers a comfortable and quiet resting place for reading a good book or just taking in the private forest surroundings. Autumn and winter walks are particularly enjoyable! And when you've worked up a good chill, the cabin awaits your arrival for a warm fireside nap or conversation. Sit on the hearth with its bearskin rug for instant warmth.
No detail is overlooked!
Not only was Garoga built by the owners, but the rustic details inside are original as well. Specifically built for the cabins in a small wood shop on site(in the historic Adirondack great camp tradition), nearly every Adirondack inspired table, sign, and mirror was hand crafted by your host. A genuine love of the Adirondack style is pleasantly obvious throughout both the Bear and Moose cabins.
Each cabin boasts 20 foot cathedral ceilings with natural pine woodwork, a loft, skylights, and antler chandeliers. Beautifully finished pine plank flooring hand engraved with bear paw prints or oak leaves throughout(depending on which cabin you're in) add unexpected charm. Comfortable bedding and cozy new furniture offers you a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
If you enjoy coffee or tea, Garoga has that covered! We supply as much as you need.
If special arrangements need to be made in regards to birthdays, anniversaries, or even marriage proposals(we've had our share), your host is ALWAYS there to help make it happen flawlessly. Don't be afraid to ask.
Our reviews on other sites speak for themselves as guests return year after year, season after season to the special accommodations of Camp Garoga. Come be a part of our growing family of regulars at this one of a kind cabin experience.
Where as I require guests meet with me upon your arrival, my preference is to leave you alone to enjoy the coziness of the cabin. Texting is the best way to accomplish that. Most guests text me periodically throughout the day for special attention, or many times just to say hello (go figure). I want to be reachable at all times of your stay but I don't want to be 'all up in your grill'. Unless it's your gas grill and the propane needs to be replenished. Because in that case, you want me up in your grill.
The cabin is located in a rural area without much foot traffic. It is a very safe place to enjoy the outdoors. Although there are bears in the area, the odds of you running into one is very rare. In 13 years I've seen 3 and only one was by the cabin.
Rt 29, 29A, 10, and 30 are the best roads to get you to where you want to go. Both 29's run east and west, while 10 and 30 run north to south.
Some firewood is provided for your outdoor fire pit, but if you plan on excessive use(which is fine), there are local roadside places to purchase extra campfire wood.
We charge a $100 premium for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. We require a 3 night minimum for any holiday weekend.

The cabin borders 400+ acres for your leisure enjoyment with marked trails and benches along the way. There isn't anything remotely touristy about this location which allows you to be free of interruption. Camp Garoga is a high quality cabin experience at hotel prices and is a great location for complete relaxation or a "home base" for day trips. There are plenty of hiking trails within a short driving distance.

Chris was a great host- very accommodating and friendly. The cabin was beautiful and in pristine condition! I didn't realize it was connected to another cabin, so it wasn't quite as private as I thought, but still wonderful. Definitely recommend!

Maeve2015-02-17T00:00:00Z

My fiancée & I were looking to have a getaway weekend in the Adirondacks to get away from the stress that comes with wedding planning. This cabin was adorable & affordable! It was a fully functioning house, which was great. We brought our own groceries, used the hot tub, & the gas fireplace to stay cozy!!! The host, Chris, was amazing - he answered all of our questions prior to us arriving & communicated with us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this rustic cabin in the woods!

Melissa2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

We had the most amazing weekend away at this cabin! It was so cozy and beautiful. We loved sitting in the hot tub with the snow all around and then coming in and sitting by the fire, drinking hot chocolate. It is beautiful and secluded. We didn't want to leave! I would highly recommend this for a romantic get away! Our host was wonderful and even left chocolates for us and sprinkled rose petals on the bed since he knew we were coming for Valentine's Day! We want to go back already!

Rachel2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

We spent a long weekend here with a couple of friends and loved it. Incredibly cosy, well equipped, lots of woods to walk in just behind. Chris was very helpful and answered any questions quickly, and we hardly heard the family next door. Would happily come back! Also, spent an evening naming the bears. Should be enough to keep anyone busy for a while :)

Gregory2015-04-07T00:00:00Z

The cabin was clean with a fully equipped kitchen. Chris was a great host and made himself available for anything we needed. I couldn't recommend this place more!

Rachel2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

If there is any hesitation for the person reviewing these reviews to see if this is worth it... wait no longer, this place is a steal! Pictures do not do it justice one bit. Also, def grab the hot tub!!! Chris is also the best to communicate with and goes above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care of.

Meir2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

Couldn’t ask for much else! Upon entering moose cabin we were floored by the charming country aesthetic. The great cheeky signs, rustic wood furniture, and fireplace provided the perfect ambiance for a relaxing weekend out of the city. Yea, the house is close to the main road, but draw the shades, dim the lights, and start a fire and you’ll feel as if you’re miles away from anything. Safe to say we really enjoyed ourselves. Moose cabin was clean, very well maintained, and well stocked with kitchen essentials and such. It’s obvious Chris is very attentive to details. Getting there was fairly painless, and once settled Chris was easy to get in touch with if needed. All in all, great weekend away, Camp Garoga was wonderful.

Domenick2014-09-22T00:00:00Z

We had a great time, the cabin really speaks for itself. Everything we could have hoped for and then some.

Getting around
You'll want to have a car, both to get to here and to do anything while you are here.

Camp Kumenagen was a Godsend for me this summer. I needed a place to escape south Florida heat and entertain my kids. I rented it for the month of July and loved every minute of it. We disconnected from city life immediately and were reluctant to return to it. The photos Sarah has online are spot on. Her home is welcoming and charming in the lake/Adirondack decor. This home has been in her family for generations and the photos on the wall are genuine family history of this camp. The years of happiness here are palpable. If you've ever gone to someone's cozy home or camp and secretly wished you could stay longer- this is that place. GPS will bring you right to the doorstep and all you need is your comfy clothes and camera to capture the beautiful scenery. Cellphone reception is spotty at best and there is no internet service. I wanted it that way for a variety of reasons - but there is a landline and cable tv, so you're not stranded or cut off from the crazy world. Bring your own towels and sheets. One double bed and four twin beds make it a very spacious getaway for a family, as the camp officially sleeps 8 if you use the pullout couch. As with most seasonal lake homes, there is running water but it's lake water so you need to bring water for drinking and cooking.
